Sutherland: The company recently tapped Terry Hunziker to produce two collections, Peninsula for outdoors and Melina for indoors. The Melina occasional chairs (shown) have a natural woven-cane frame and boast the graceful proportions that distinguish the line. 1025 North Stemmons Freeway, Suite 340, Dallas, TX 75207; 800-717-8325; www.sutherlandteak.com. circle 337

Ilex Architectural Lighting: The handblown Double-Up pendant with incandescent or halogen lamping is sure to brighten any space.

Charter Members

For those people longing for a few entre nous moments, there is Charter's Le Deux, a canoodler's dream. Built to cradle two, the chaise—shown here in clear maple with a natural finish—can be made with any wood or the customer's own material. Those going solo can sink into the Alexa chair, whose seriously sharp good looks were inspired by Miami Beach art deco. 9401 Whitmore Street, El Monte, CA 91731; 626-572-7500; www.charterfurniture.com. circle 341

A welcome newcomer to the 2002 Hospitality Design Exposition in Las Vegas, Koch-Smith showcased its first collection geared specifically to the hospitality sector.
